I have tried to defend what is most precious to our American society, a society that is now at war against the forces of racial intolerance.A big part of me making the decision was how important the play is for the times that we live in. This is a classic. It's a masterpiece of American playwriting. It's about discrimination and it's about we Mexicans being a target for so many years.

We need to know the facts, in order to tell the politicians, "Excuse me, I don't want you to use my money on building a wall that is not going to solve any problems. We have to go this direction instead."

I was lucky that audiences in Mexico liked my work. I was even luckier when I got to do movies and plays with my brothers.

I believe in creative work.

The immigration issue is about the separation of families, and that is not human, in any country in the world, but especially in the United States. We should not root for a law that separates families.

I try to be as clear as I can be.

You don't need tons of money to create art. You do need tons of money to be a part of show business. They are two different things.
